OUCH!!

Well Natalee and Ashlynn are back from girls camp. The week went pretty fast. Not much happened here. Only two events that are worth mentioning. Andrea had her first major crash on her bike a couple days ago. I don't ever remember having a road rash this bad before and certainly did not remember mom and dad cleaning it up. I really had to show some sensitivity taking care of this one. I had to dig some small pebbles out and then put her through the agony of hydrogen peroxide. After about 4 dumps of the stuff in the brown bottle she said she did not want it anymore. She said she wanted the stuff in the white bottle that mom used. (rubbing alcohol). Needless to say we went back to the peroxide. It did not STING nearly as bad as the stuff in the white bottle. She has sworn off riding bikes. The day before I took the three younger girls fishing and then only one who caught anything was Adri. Unfortunately it was not a fish but her older sister Abby. Right in the tricep. Luckily her dad was thinking and bent all the barbs of the hooks down so it came out fairly easy. So camp is over and I can say for this house we are all glad. Natalee pours her heart into that calling and makes a really special week for the girls. She did have a bunch of help from a good friend Melanie. They each were able to take the stress load and spread it out so it did not fall on either one of them. I know I speak for all the girls and leaders of the ward. GREAT JOB Nat and Melanie. Now we can somewhat relax for the rest of the summer that has gone by quite fast. All of the girls will start school in a little over a month. Ash 7th grade, Abby 4th, Andrea 2nd and Adri kindergarten. WOW.
